interest. In the sale-deed the amount of consideration
is mentioned as Rs.5 lakh. Out of the aforesaid amount
of Rs.4 lakh, Shivaji had given hand-loan of Rs.2 lakh to
Gajanan Kadam. It is contended that Gajanan Kadam was
not returning the amount and was harassing the deceased.
To return the amount of present applicant, the deceased
had then taken hand-loan from Amarjitsingh and Indrapal
and they were after him and they were giving threats to
him. However, exact amount which was allegedly taken from
these two persons by the deceased as hand-loan is not
mentioned. Ultimately on 31.01.2017 the deceased hanged
himself in the field of Satyanarayan Kabra for committing
suicide. He had left behind him suicide note in which he
has blamed mainly Gajajan. He had given application to
police on 27.12.2016 that he had taken hand-loan from his
friend and he had returned an amount of Rs.50,000/- but
Indrapal was harassing him. However, name of Indrapal is
not mentioned in the suicide note. The document executed
in favour of present applicant is of sale and not of
mortgage. In view of the nature of allegation, this Court
had asked learned A.P.P. to ascertain whether present
applicant is involved in money lending business. Learned
A.P.P. confirmed that during enquiry it did not transpire
that present applicant is doing money lending business.
In view of these circumstances, this Court holds that
protection needs to be given to the present applicant.
